Computers’ graphics hardware is becoming more and more powerful. Powerful graphics accelerators provide the game developer with the opportunity to render high-end 3-D models that look very realistic. Players today demand a rich game experience with larger worlds to explore, more interesting things to do, and higher degrees of realism. To achieve this, an interesting and intriguing game logic is not enough. As a game developer, you also need to ensure that the models that you are using in the game look real to the greatest possible extent as a realistic look and feel provides for a more enjoyable gameplay. To project realism requires the game world to be three dimensional in nature. Creating a realistic 3-D world brings the real world into a game environment. This course will equip you with the skills to design visuals for 3- D multiplayer games. With this course, you’ll be able to build impressive Unity projects in a step-by-step manner and apply your knowledge of Unity concepts to create a real-world game. Complete with hands-on tutorials and projects, this easy-to-follow guide will show you how to develop your first complete game using a variety of Unity tools. As you make progress, you’ll learn how to make the most of the Unity Editor. This Unity game development book will then take you through integrating graphics, sound, and animations and manipulating physics to create impressive mechanics for your games. You’ll also learn how to code a simple AI agent to challenge the user and use profiling tools to ensure that the code runs in a performant way. Finally, you’ll get to grips with Unity’s AR Foundation for creating AR experiences for 3D apps and games.
